Although the Emperor Sparrow was Han Fei’s spiritual beast, they didn’t communicate much.

This time, for the first time, the Emperor Sparrow took the initiative to show Han Fei that he had the ability to swallow ominous energy, and he seemed to be about to tell him why.

Han Fei smiled. “Why do you suddenly want to tell me?”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “There’s no special reason. You’ve already become stronger. Although it’s not enough yet, at least you’re already a strong master. There are some things I can communicate with you.”

Han Fei’s heart did a flip. So he didn’t communicate with me before because he didn’t think I was strong enough?

Han Fei said, “Okay! Then let’s get straight to the point today. All these years, I’ve never fused with you to fight an enemy because I know that you are arrogant. Besides, I don’t know how you entered my Soul Sea and became my spiritual beast. However, it can be foreseen that you must have a lot of memories. I’ve been waiting for you to take the initiative to tell me. After all, no matter how strong you were before or how you fought the strong enemies, now, you are my spiritual beast, and I am your master. This can’t be changed.”

In fact, Han Fei really wanted to experience the feeling of fighting fused with the Emperor Sparrow. From the Emperor Sparrow’s past performance, although he might not be as strong as him, his Dao heart, his aura, and his life level were all at the Monarch level.

From the moment the Emperor Sparrow turned into his spiritual beast, Han Fei knew that he was raising a Monarch-level powerhouse.

That was why Han Fei was so tolerant of the Emperor Sparrow. At the same time, he was trying to become stronger to become the real master of the Emperor Sparrow.

Therefore, it was a good thing that the Emperor Sparrow suddenly wanted to communicate with him.

The Emperor Sparrow said, “The Emperor Sparrow will never disappear. I will die, but I won’t disappear. Every generation of the Emperor Sparrow will inherit the inheritance of the previous generation. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for me to become your spiritual beast. This is the only thing that hasn’t been reflected in my inherited memories. But since I become your spiritual beast, it only shows that you and I should be an alliance between the strong. Now, I see that you have grown to your current strength of the Sky Opening realm, and I see that you can easily kill a Sky Opening realm powerhouse. I confirm again that our alliance is an alliance between the strong.”

Han Fei smiled. “It seems that you and I have something big to do together?”

The Emperor Sparrow ignored Han Fei’s teasing. “There’s one thing that I’m very similar to you. This is the answer that the previous Emperor Sparrow failed to find even when he died.”

Han Fei was curious. “What?”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “He was not sure of his Dao heart and his real path.”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Being born a Monarch might not be a good thing. This might be because of the power of my bloodline or my inheritance. However, it seems that I lack a path. What the Emperor Sparrows of the past pursue is atavism because we want to know the secrets of the first generation of Emperor Sparrows. They regard this as their Dao. But in this life, I was born as a spiritual beast. I suddenly discovered that in fact, I don’t have to trace back to the first generation, but I can also walk my own path like you, or even these billions of creatures.”

Han Fei listened attentively. “So, you were born with a spiritual beast, but you got an epiphany?”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Not really. I just found out about this truth. I’m still far from waking up. In the future, if there’s a chance, we can fight side by side… I mean, we can even fuse.”

Han Fei grinned. “Okay! However, let’s get back to the point. Why can you swallow the ominous energy?”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “This level of ominousness is not really ominous. As for me, I can swallow the ominous, darkness, Sky Fiends, and horror… I can swallow most negative things. Even in the Soul Sea, I can swallow a large amount of horror left in the Soul Sea to grow. Of course, the speed is not that fast. After all, I am about to open the sky.”

Han Fei was lost for words. “Are there no side effects in this way of growth?”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “This is the talent of the Emperor Sparrow bloodline. And the so-called ominous in the Chaotic Wasteland is actually a large number of negative emotions. The darkness of a world has all gathered here, and every once in a while, it will erupt. It’s like a curse that has been pestering and acting up repeatedly.”

Han Fei was puzzled. “Negative?”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “The so-called negative energy contains too many things. Perhaps too many Origin Grounds are buried here, and the invisible negative karma forms the ominous. Perhaps all the sins in this world are led by some power to gather here and erupt from time to time. Therefore, when ordinary people come into contact with it, their minds will be invaded, they will lose their consciousness, and then go crazy. They will be driven by killing, desire, and all negative energy, and lose their original self.”

Han Fei asked, “Since you can swallow the ominous, will you become stronger because of it?”

Han Fei had to make this guess. If swallowing the ominous could make one stronger, then the growth of the Emperor Sparrow was limitless.

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Yes! However, it will take a long time. I’m more suitable for the primordial murderous aura and other powers that are full of fighting aura. The power in these ominous auras is too impure. Although I can digest them, the level of this energy is not high. Unless I find its source, these ordinary ominous auras are meaningless. At most, they can become a part of my combat power.”

Han Fei thought to himself, Isn’t this enough?

Han Fei sighed slightly. “What a pity. This ominous aura is inexhaustible.”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Anything that’s inexhaustible can only mean that it’s ordinary. Good stuff is always rare. It can’t be much.”

Han Fei thought so too. He asked, “Then when will you open the sky? You’ve been at this bottleneck for a long time, haven’t you?”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Let’s see! The time is not right yet. During this period of time, I’ll consolidate my strength! Aren’t you going to the City of Scavengers? I’m looking forward to how you will conquer this city.”

Han Fei sneered. “Take it down? That’s a long-term thing.”

Han Fei thought to himself, In fact, I can do it now. I just need to turn to Eldest Senior Brother for help. But I obviously can’t do it this way. This is what the Human Emperor should do, not Eldest Senior Brother.

The City of Scavengers was his first step to rise in the Sea Realm. If he couldn’t take this step on his own, how could he, a disciple of the Void Temple and the emperor of the human race, rise in the Sea Realm?

…

One day later.

Mountain City.

Feng Tianyi arrived, and Xue Fei announced his successor in the city, so the city was transferred to Feng Tianyi.

In fact, it was just two puppets talking.

The messenger who had come from the main city also saw “Xue Fei” come out of seclusion on this day.

In the Lord’s Mansion, Feng Tianyi and Xue Fei exchanged some pleasantries. In the eyes of Hong Yue and Ying Yue, this scene was very strange. The two were clearly both the Human Emperor himself.

They didn’t know what it would be like to talk to themselves.

At this moment, the retired “Xue Fei” received these envoys.

The three envoys cupped their fists and congratulated him. “Congratulations, Master Xue Fei, for taking over White Jade City.”

Han Fei nodded slightly. “Okay, I know why you’re here. You can go back first. After I go to the White Jade City, I’ll take that person to the main city.”

The three envoys replied respectfully, “Then we’ll have to trouble you. Well, Master Xue Fei, the higher-ups have instructed that Mountain City’s taxes must return to normal.”

Han Fei snorted in his heart, thinking to himself, These stingy guys. However, after three hundred years of development, the overall strength of the villages in the current Mountain City shouldn’t be bad.

Therefore, Han Fei nodded slightly. “OK! Feng Tianyi will take care of this matter. You don’t have to worry about it.”

The three envoys were speechless. The only reason they came was to remind Xue Fei not to forget the two things he should do.

Now that the mission was completed, they didn’t want to stay here.

Han Fei was always a good actor.

That day, in Little Sea Village.

The arrival of “Xue Fei” shocked the entire village.

Xue Fei shouted, “Ye Fengliu, I’ve agreed to reduce Mountain City’s taxes for three hundred years. Now, three hundred years have passed. You should leave with me.”

Everyone in Little Sea Village, except for Zhao Jing, was dumbfounded.

It wasn’t until they watched Ye Fengliu being taken away that they exclaimed,

“What? So the three-hundred-year tax deduction was bought by Fengliu with his future?”

“Damn it, Ye Fengliu, you didn’t tell us about this for three hundred years? Do you still treat us as brothers?”

Someone was lost for words. “Forget it! He only did that because he took you and me as his brothers. He sacrificed his future to earn us the 300-year tax reduction. How generous and bold is he?”

Chen Qing said, “Ye Fengliu is a man who can be recorded in the history of our Little Sea Village.”

Only Zhao Jing knew the truth. The moment she saw Ye Fengliu leave, she knew that he would have to shoulder all the hardship alone.
